Septation of the heart and Congenital Defects Flashcards
What does the sinus venosus become?
-sinus venarum and coronary sinus
What does the primitive atrium become?
R + L atrium
What does the primitive ventricle become?
most of the definitive left ventricle
Bulbus Cordis becomes
right ventricle and outflow tract
Truncus Arteriosus become
ascending aorta and pulmonary artery [conotruncal septum]
The right side of the primitive atrium becomes?
right atriums pectinate
What is the crista terminalis?
-carry SA to AV node impulses
What is SEPTA and VALVES?
s: divides R/L chambers
V: flow of blood
How does the formation of septation occur?
-endocardial cushions (thickens up in the middle)
-Interatrial septum ( grows down)
-interventricular septum( grow up)
What occurs on Day 28 ?
-septum primum and endocardial cushions appear
what occurs in fetus heart on day 56?
-2nd septum and rapid growth of endo cardial tissues
Foremen secundum is:
Before the foramen primum closes - the septum primum develops small perforations to form a new foramen
Atrial Spetal Defect and the result:
-septum secundum is too short to cover foramen secundum
-results: right atrial and right ventricular hypertrophy may develop b/c PRESSURE is higher on LEFT atrium
Atrial septal defect: (betsy terms)
O2 blood should go to ventricle but its going to the right side so RIGHT side enlarge
Ventricular Septation:
occurs on 7th week and is NOT part of fetal circulation
-once closed, always closed
-grows cranially to allow blood to Ventr and bulbis cordis
